I found this on a Slate.com reader response to an article on the coming "Gay network":

The wretched " Lord of the Rings " was a faggot`s dream come true. Delicate little Hobbits under the mentorship of the queerest actor alive playing Gandor.They even had bedroom scenes, with no chicks anywhere to be found except a dykish bitch fairy something who tried to nut our boy.

Um. Gandalf, dickhead. And Ian McKellan is hardly the "queerest actor alive." That honor goes to Nathan Lane, for gods' sakes. And I don't recall Galadriel doing anything to ... oh! I get it! You're a FREAKING MORON!! Ok, never mind.

He goes on to say:

Hamlet, unbelievable, no gay man can sit through Mel Gibson`s portrayal without turning to wood, and Sir Lawerence`s rendition creates a riot in San Fransisco every time it is run in Jack Mihoff cinema.

Uh... no. Gibson's Hamlet is watchable, but hardly sexually arousing. And this thing about riots in San Francisco... either he's trying to be funny, or he's just a moron.

Oh, right, we established that.

You know, if this guy is demonstrating what passes for comprehension skills today, I'm even more needed as a teacher than I thought.

This game sounds like fun.

You'd kinda have to own your own table, though.

More bits and bobs from Ian McKellan's website.

Have I mentioned how much I love this man?

Q: I'm curious as to how you spend your off days from the production? Perhaps not glamourous moments, but it has piqued my curiosity all the same.

A: Oh well these happy days, vainly searching the net for someone who hasn’t enjoyed Fellowship of the Ring.

Q: Do you get many strange people writing you bizarre missives all the time, asking whether you like pants or whether you'd like to go to their birthday party? If not, would you like to go to *my* birthday party? It's in May. We'll have cupcakes. Peace and Long Life!

A: Here in the e-post mail room we censor the over-bizarre. In May, apart from celebrating my own birthday, I shall unfortunately be unavailable for yours, filming the X-Men sequel. Enjoy the cupcakes. As for the pants, it depends who's wearing them.
